Details

This is a Master's thesis submitted in 2016 at the University of Eastern Finland. Titled 'FHIR-standardin ominaisuudet ja soveltaminen' (Features and Application of FHIR Standard), the research delves deeply into the technical characteristics of FHIR and how it can be applied in real healthcare settings and information systems. Its significance lies in its academic perspective on interoperability challenges, suggesting the potential of FHIR as a solution. The paper is not merely an overview but a systematic piece of research from the field of computer science, addressing the complex issues of data exchange and standardization faced by medical information systems. This provides valuable knowledge for the Japanese healthcare IT industry regarding the construction of secure and efficient data linkage infrastructure using FHIR.
